The never ending unpredicability of TAFEs

Swinburne have just called off our meeting with Steve Connleey, the VC and lo and behold I get a call today from a guy who used to work at Swinburne who is interested in Performis - we meet this Friday for a chat.

This is it

Making some real progress with relationships between my company, Performis and Swinburne University.

Fiirst need is delivering Cert III in IT to my client, Clive Peeters. Larger issue is preparing for the brave new world of contestibility that will shake foudations of the large public VET providers in Victoria.

At last something really relevant for private RTOs

A great research paper out from AFLF - hit the link.

Anxious times

Unfortunately, due to ill health, my General Manager, has had to take a substantial amount of leave. She was a wonderful mentor in my first 3 months at Performis. She was always available to help me navigate the complexities of my new role. I just hope she gets well soon and smells the roses. In the meantime I am just that much more reliant on my own resources to get through each day.

10 weeks in

10 weeks in to the job of a Learning and Development Director and where have I been?

• Ford
• GSL
• DESA
• DHS
• CMG
• Thomas Warburton
• BASF
• Divers Metal
• Bakers Delight
• NOAC
• Urban Burger.

All over the shop. Trying to convince people that Performis can meet their learning and development needs. This is not difficult to do with the quality of trainers that deliver our curriculum. Very impressed by back of house operations that Performis has invested in. So far so busy.

Performis

SO this is it a new place and a new way of working, still into training but wihtout the hassles of a lumbering slow TAFE behid me. I feel nimble, adroit adn ready to serve the needs of real clients with real needs.

Out of here

After 7 years at Kangan Batman Institute of TAFE I have resigned. I am taking the position of Learning and Development Director with Performis. It is an exciting challenge but full of new ways of working.
